NH 6794 3585 A survey was carried out in May 2011 of the remains of the cairn at the request of the landowner. The site was drawn at 1:100 and photographed from all angles. Geologists gave advice on the type of stones used in the construction of the cairn and the colours they would have been in antiquity and this material was compared with the work of Bradley at Balnuaran of Clava and elsewhere. Reports of two contiguous upright stones, which may have marked the inner kerb of a ring, could not be verified and the cross sections drawn could not prove nor disprove the generally held belief that the site is a ring cairn.
